(screams) road trip! whahhhh hahaha... road trip! good afternoon. topping the agenda right now the current president, a former president and the current vice president and leaders from both parties coming together for a very emotional day of remembrance in dallas and one
1:01 pm
not without frustration and perhaps controversy. president obama addressing the issue of gun control just minutes ago. >> we flood communities with so many guns that it is easier for a teenager to buy a gloch than get his hands on a computer or a book. >> that memorial service for those five slain police officers in dallas wrapping up in the last hour. also speaking in addition to president obama was former president george w. bush, a rare public appearance for him. we are going to play much more from that memorial service. we're going to go live on the ground as well to craig melvin in a minute. also on the agenda at this hour the surrender. it's been 28 days since the final democratic primary and bernie sanders says he is ready for hillary. >> i have come here to make it as clear as possible as to why i am endorsing hillary clinton.
1:02 pm
>> sanders formally endorsing clinton today and he's coming under attack from donald trump. we'll tell you what that's all about and what sanders is saying about it. finally, the vice presidential waiting game. >> i'm just as anxious as the rest of you are who the vp pick is. i'm familiar with this process. i have the highest, highest regard for mike. he's a personal friend of ours and mine but i'm just as anxious as you are and i'm going to withhold any comment until the presumptive nominee makes his choice. >> donald trump's search for the running mate and all eyes on the governor of indiana. plus a brand new poll getting some attention today. we have a lot this hour but we do begin with that top story from dallas, president obama there today, joined by leaders from both parties for a memorial service for the five police
1:03 pm
officers who were killed in last week's sniper attack. this is the 11th time that president obama has traveled to a mourning community in the wake of a mass shooting, 11 times as president and he didn't try to conceal his frustration at the policy he says is working against progress. >> as a society we choose to underinvest in decent schools. we allow poverty to fester so entire neighborhoods offer no prospect for gainful employment. we refuse to fund drug treatment and mental health programs. [ applause ] we flood communities with so many guns that it is easier for a teenager to buy a gloch than get his hands on a computer or even a book. [ applause ]
1:04 pm
and then we tell the police you're a social worker. you're the parent. you're the teacher. you're the drug counselor. we tell them to keep those neighborhoods in check at all costs and do so without causing any political blow back or inconvenience. don't make a mistake that might disturb our own peace of mind. and then we act surprised when periodically tensions boil over. >> craig melvin has been reporting from dallas since those sniper attacks last week. we mentioned the president has given a number of speeches like this over the last eight years, this is the 11th after a mass shooting, but you've been there for a few days now. what do you think the community want to hear from the president today? >> reporter: i think that different parts of the community wanted to hear different things
1:05 pm
from the president. and president obama really did try to speak to each of those audiences. at the beginning of that speech aimed at the families who were seated there in front row, immediate family members of the five victims here, the four members of the dallas police department and one member of d.a.r.t. he started by speaking to those families directly, acknowledging the loss and how senseless it was saying this country and this community stands with you. he then turned his attention it would seem to a certain extent to the protesters as well, acknowledging racial bias that still exists in this country, explicit bias and implicit bias as well. we heard him devote a fair amount of that speech to law enforcement, law enforcement all over this country, president obama acknowledging the hard job
1:06 pm
that police officers have, not just in dallas where you have 3,500 police officers but all over america. that sound bite you played there one of the knocks -- this is a knock -- this is one of the complaints school teachers have as well. we ask our police officers to simply do too much. president obama recognizing that, saying that and that getting a standing ovation inside that hall. it was, among other things, a very powerful visual to see the president there, to see him there with vice president joe biden and see him with former president george w. bush who lives nearby there and chief david brown who is one of the most popular men in america. chief brown saying yesterday calling on some of the folks who
1:07 pm
have been protesting here in dallas to perhaps stop in and pick up an application at the police department behind me. we can tell you according to dallas police late last night and early this morning there has been so much interest now in becoming a police officer in the city they've now had to put a notice on their website. there has been some good that has come from this, perhaps that is it. meanwhile tomorrow the funerals for the officers who have died, those funerals set to start tomorrow. there will be a funeral in dallas every day through saturday. steve. >> that puts it in perspective. craig melvin outside that memorial service in dallas. thanks for that. also outside the memorial service jacob is standing by there. he's with some of the police officers who attended it. they lost their brothers in the past week and jacob, what can you tell us? >> reporter: we were standing out here before it started as
1:08 pm
hundreds of police officers from about every department in texas and then from around the country were walking in very someber. among those officers and public officials inside -- we have detective anderson and lopez and hassman. you're with the dallas department. what was it like for you to be able to take part in this memorial for your brothers. >> one of the main things is we want to honor them and their lives. this is about them and what they did to serve the community here in dallas. nothing else really i think. it's about them and the sacrifices they made. they were here to serve. they were called. they showed up to work. they were protecting people who were protesting against police officers and they did what they had to do and as far as we know there was no hesitation in acting and doing what they needed to do.
1:09 pm
>> reporter: why is today important for you. >> first and foremost i'm proud to be a police officer here in dallas and it was an honor to be a part of this. to be here for the families, to support them and support our brothers and sisters. i mean, it was very important to be here. >> reporter: thank you. detective you actually knew these people. these were more than just police officers in the community to you. >> yes. i mean, for friends it makes it very tough and you never want to go through this but to come here today is very touching and overwhelming with the amount of support that we see from not just our brothers and sisters in blue across the country but the citizens who are not police officers who have reached out to us the last couple of days. >> reporter: there is some doubt about moving forward and how divided we are.
1:10 pm
there were a lot of speakers inside and in addition to mourning the loss of these good police officers, some of the speakers tried to give some hope about the future. if you don't mind what impressed you maybe a moment that you really took away, perhaps it was the chief who said something or perhaps it was the mayor if you don't mind. >> one thing i noticed is george bush at the end when he reached out for michelle obama's hand. i mean that really just -- that stood out to me. and then everybody else held hands. i think that's a good sign of hope to show that unity that we're all striving for. i think that's part of it. that was a huge thing. it was a big demonstration of what we wanted to take the first step in that action. >>. >> reporter: do you have a moment that stood out to you. >> i think that was a pretty powerful moment, just everybody holding hands and comforting each other. like i said it was a big sign of
1:11 pm
hope that things are going to get better so yeah that was very important. >> reporter: detective. >> the main thing is like i said every police officer we love this city and we want everything to work and i really was proud of president obama. he talked about both sides and there's always room for improvement i think on both sides of the issue and there's always room for improvement for us and also we need the citizens too. we have to work together and make this thing work. >> reporter: detective, detective thank you for your service and thank you for your time. >> thank you for being here. >> reporter: they said it best. steve, back to you. >> all right. jacob in dallas. a lot of emotions there today and it is not every day you see president obama, former george w. bush, a democrat and republican, major figures in each of their parties getting together in public like that. obviously we wouldn't it the
1:12 pm
occasion for today but it underscores what a day in dallas today. we have lot happening in politics today. all of the social and political upheaval going on a lot of people say it's a throwback, it's something we've seen before in the late '60s and '70s. well talk to somebody who would know, norman leer. he's going to sit down with me and i'll get him to weigh in on donald trump. trump promising to announce his running mate in the next few days and in the next few hours trump is going to hold his third try out. if was newt gingrich last night and chris christie last week and tonight it's going to be the governor of indiana. we'll breakdown the chances right after this. >> i want somebody with good
1:13 pm
chemistry and great experience and can relate to the public and knows what they're doing and somebody who can help get legislation through so you don't have to sign executive orders all the time. for partners in health, time is life. we have 18,000 people around the world. the microsoft cloud helps our entire staff stay connected and work together in real time to help those that need it. the ability to collaborate changes how we work. what we do together changes how we live. to folks out there whose diabetic nerve pain... shoots and burns its way into your day, i hear you. to everyone with this pain that makes ordinary tasks

1:16 pm
i haven't agreed on every issue but i'm supporting donald trump because we need change in this country and i believe he represents the kind of strong leadership at home and abroad that will to borrow a phrase make america great again. >> indiana governor has had his policy differences with donald trump but that doesn't mean he's not interested in joining trump's ticket. pence set to stump with trump
1:17 pm
tonight at a rally in indiana. this is a vp audition. this is the third one in a week. you had newt gingrich last week and chris christie last night and mike pence, he's not much of a household name nationally. he's 57 years old. he's the governor of indiana. he was elected in 2012. if pence is picked to be trump's running mate he will have to abandon his reelection race in indiana. he's running for a second term out there. he was a member of congress before becoming the governor of indiana. what are the pros and cons trump might be looking at. let's look at some pros. he's not too flashy. when you're donald trump, when you make news and stir the pot, maybe you want your running mate to be a little bit more reserved publicly. certainly mike pence, no danger there he's going to try to overshadow donald trump. washington experience, that's
1:18 pm
something trump said he's looking for. he's looking for somebody who knows d.c. mike pence was in congress before. also solidifying the republican base and maybe concerns with social conservatives about how committed trump is to their issues, mick pencke pence. what are the cons? he's not that popular in indiana right now. there was a poll recently back in may that shows his approval rating around 46%. indiana has emerged as a potential swing state. we think of it as a red state but this is one that republicans are going to have to fight for this fall. you put the governor on the ticket no guarantee that's going to help trump too much in indiana. also the religious liberty bill, this was last year. he was seeking to make some protections for business owners who maybe a cake baker who didn't want to serve a gay
1:19 pm
wedding. lots of controversy. could that be a problem nationally when you're trying to appeal to middle of the road voters. and then you say is he too safe of a choice. donald trump is a showman. he's an entertainer. he wants to surprise the audience. he's afraid of making the audience board. does he say it's just too conventional for my campaign. it will be interesting to see donald trump and mike pence on that stage together tonight . what kind of chemistry they have or maybe they won't have chemistry. we like to look at the online betting markets, people putting their money where their mouth is. this is a great measure of what people are expecting to happen. cal keeps tabs on it. >> reporter: we're taking this out of the united i think dom. it's illegal to bet on elections in the united states but if you're in the united kingdom you can bet. mike pence is a favorite.
1:20 pm
you bet $100 on mike pence and he turns into the vp pick he get $100 back. when you look at this list think of executive experience and law and order candidate. we know about newt gingrich and chris christie. jeff sessions, a former u.s. attorney, john kasich, executive experience, governor, brings you ohio, mike flynn also was the director of the defense intelligence agency. if you're donald trump and you're making yourself the law and order candidate general flynn is possibly an option. let's go to the democratic side and look at where hillary clinton is. tim kaine and elizabeth warren has moved up. a lot of people saying this would satisfy bernie sanders supporters. now that bernie is on board how do you get his supporters on board? elizabeth warren is a good step in that direction.
1:21 pm
brown gets you ohio and bernie sanders supporters love brown because he's big on trade. that's a big issue for him. also castro has moved up the odds. he is now 10/1. he has expececutive experience. he's the urban development secretary. these are your odds for who ele. hillary clinton is even money. donald trump was 20/1 three months ago. he's closed the gap in the offshore market. >> you talk about sucker bet. john kasich hasn't endorsed donald trump, won't go to the convention and people are putting their money on him. it's interesting to see people putting their money where their mouths are. one note to tell you about here. we are just learning in the last few minutes that fox news has
1:22 pm
suspended its contributor agreement with newt gingrich. due to the intense media speculation about the potential selection as donald trump's vice presidential candidate we felt it best to halt his net work. we're told this is temporary but this will only fuel that speculation that republicans could be looking at a trump/gingrich ticket. we'll take this to today's political guests host of the podca podcast. we ran through the odds. i love doing it because you have pun di
1:23 pm
pundits. >> i think pence looks like a positive choice at this point. as you mentioned before he's not too flashy, he has the credentials an governoring experience and experience in congress and relationships in congress. you heard house speaker paul ryan talking favorably about mike pence today. >> is he too boring though. >> he could be but maybe that's what trump wants. pence has not had the national stage that christie and newt gingrich has. will he be able to defend trump in the way that christie or gingrich have or play that advisor role. it's not clear yet. we haven't seen him on the stage before. >> to me pence is safe, conventional, low key. in what universe did those add jektsives associate themselves with donald trump. the betting market got many things wrong. >> if you're at the top of the list you're not feeling good. >> i don't know about any of those guys. people are looking at what should we model our bet on? maybe it's when mccain chose
1:24 pm
palin. it was the final episode of celebrity apprentice when joan rivers was going against annie duke. donald trump loves a surprise. >> that's what i keep waiting for here. flynn's name came over the weekend. it sounds like he's toying with the idea there might be somebody else there. >> i talked to trump allies who said that flynn was an interesting choice to trump. trump wants this convention to be about himself and his family. if he picks someone who is a wild choice and the attention shifts on friday and through the weekend to this candidate that would take away from the impact he wants to make on monday and throughout that week. that could play in here. he's very close with gingrich and gingrich has proved to be a good advisor for him. he's also been critical of trump which gives him credibility in
1:25 pm
terms of being a surrogate on the stage. he said that newt perhaps could play some kind of a role in the campaign whether it's the vice presidency we don't know. >> there's a logic to ging rim and christie. they're both unpopular but trump is the smallest presidential campaign ever run. he can trust those guys if they're not coordinated with the trump message of the day to say something mostly on message to do well on the stump. so he should be able to have a trust in them. they do have the showmanship qualities. pence is the -- it doesn't fit and trump's nodded the kind of guy who makes a strategic decision i need indiana or evangelicals, he wants to do something exciting. >> there's always some spenuspe. supreme court justice making a lot of news in the last few days with negative comments about donald trump. she talked the other day in an
1:26 pm
interview about moving to new zealand if he won. she's doubling down on it today. here is a new interview where she calls trump a faker and has no consistency about him. he says whatever comes into his head. he has an ego. the press seems to be gentle with him. trump responding saying it's highly inappropriate that a supreme court justice gets involved in a campaign. i couldn't believe it when i saw it. this is an interesting question to me because justices have spoken out and people talk about scalia but this does feel like it's crossing the line. >> doesn't it point out that trump is -- we're not talking about any republican candidate. he invites this and she didn't say anything that is incorrect. she said that my late husband would say this is when we move to new zealand.
1:27 pm
there's a bad precedentpreceden >> in keeping with who trump is. he has a long list of people he's been feuding with. the pope was one of them this year. the supreme court could play a role in this election. if it comes down to it. this is the kind of thing i think that fuels trump's support and the supreme court is going to play such a key role in terms of being an issue obviously the vacancy is a big issue and he can point to this and say this is a reason i need to be elected to perhaps talk to conservatives that way. >> that's the thing too. if we ever got in a situation like we did 16 years ago where the election goes to the court, if you have these comments sort of in the back drop i think that will create a whole bunch of issues. thanks to both of you for
1:28 pm
joining us. we have a developing situation out of washington, d.c. the u.s. capital on lock down for the second time today. we are working to get more information on exactly what's going on there. we're keeping an eye on that. we will fill you in as soon as we learn more and in a moment norman lear is going to join us. he says donald trump reminds him a little bit of archie bunker. a new documentary opening in theaters. >> where we were at our greatest change socially, mainstream television was one of the last things to jump and the person to force it over the hill was me. a bold group of researchers and computer scientists in silicon valley, had a breakthrough they called... the machine.
1:29 pm
it changed computing forever. and it's been part of every new technology for the last 250 years. everything? everything! this year, hewlett packard enterprise will preview the machine and accelerate the future. see st trek beyond. this dog treat called max and dentalife.covered it's really different. see? it's flexible... ...and it has a chewy, porous texture, full of little tiny air pockets that gives dogs' teeth a clean scrub all the way down to the gum line. (vo) purina dentalife. for life.
1:30 pm
what are you doing? sara, i love you, and... [phone rings] ah, it's my brother. keep going... sara, will you marry... hone rings again] what do you want, todd???? [crowd cheering] keep it going!!!! it's what you do. if you sit on your phone, you butt-diatodd!ple. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. i know we just met like, two months ago... yes! [crowd cheering] [crowd cheering over phone] at clorox 2 we've turned removing stains into a science. now pre-treat with clorox 2! watch stains disappear right before your eyes. remove 4imes more stains than detergent alone.
1:32 pm
the day. our own luke covers capitol hill. what's going on. >> reporter: a lot of moving parts going on right now but about 15 minutes ago over the capital pa system there was an announcement to shelter in place. the capital was on lock down. the shelter in place directive has been lifted and you're free to move about within thcomplex but members of congress are told not to go outside and if they want to go back to their offices or the house floor that the outside is still off limits. all the tour groups were moved to a secure location. they were moved out of the general vicinity of the capital hall and what we've heard from reports via twitter that we've seen through pictures and such, it appears there was an incident close to the labor department which is about a block away from here. there's an update coming right now. okay.
1:33 pm
so they're saying there's no entry or exit still going on right now. you may move within and out. right down constitution avenue toward the capital you're seeing reports of an incident. apparently some sort of shooting that occurred around the building. that's not connected with the capital but given there's a heightened sense of security given what's happened over the last week or so the capital police are taking no chances in wanting nobody to go outside around that area which is closed. these things in terms of being suspicious packages and things like that, that's really relatively common. we get a few of those a month and sometimes a few a week. for a full lock down like this though it shows you how much on edge people are after the events of the last week. it's rare to put everybody in lock down like this especially with members of congress on the house floor and not letting them leave the house floor.
1:34 pm
it gives you an idea of the seriousness of the situation. right now the most important thing is that everybody inside the building is safe and seemingly directly outside as well on the grounds of the actual capital. >> all right. luke rusert on capitol hill. meanwhile some other headlines we're following right now, we're calling these things bernie sanders making it official today endorsing hillary clinton at a rally in new hampshire. tomorrow clinton set to speak in spring field, illinois. her campaign says she's going to be discussing building a stronger america. this is also where she's holding this event it's also where obama first introduced joe biden as his running mate in the summer of 2008. new today according to court documents joe paterno knew about the sexual abuse by jerry
1:35 pm
sandusky as far back as 1976 but ignored it. this in a court document today from a 2014 deposition. the accuser testifying that he touched him inappropriately in the shower when he was 14 years old while attending a football camp. he told paterno about it the next day but paterno dismissed him telling him i have a football season to worry about. president obama meeting now with the families of the police officers killed and injured in last week's shooting rampage in dallas and the president speaking at an interfaith memorial service honoring the fooifz fallen officers. while on board air force one the president called the family of alton sterling, the man shot by police in baton rouge last week and philando castile who was killed in minnesota a day later. the president offering
1:36 pm
condolences to those families on behalf of the american people. to someone who first brought the issue of race to the country on trvgs. he gave us shows like all in the family and the jeffersons. they we some of the most provocative shows of all time. >> there was a reason richard nixon put norman on his list. these are real issues. that stuff didn't happen in sit comes. >> that's a clip from the brand new documentary norman lear, just another version of you. i got a chance to sit down with the television producer and ask him if he sees any parallels between the social upheavals and the unrest we saw in the late '60s and '70s. >> i don't think we are enjoying
1:37 pm
the national conversation we need because i don't think -- i think the american people are denied the leadership they earn. i'm talking about leadership throughout corporate america, educational america, political america. we don't -- the national conversation isn't what people who are -- we're supposed to depend on an informed citizenry in america. >> you go back to when all in the family was on and there was three broadcast networks and now you've got thousands of possible sources of news and information and entertainment. there should be more in theory opportunities to be informed. >> there's such a thing as excess and that's our major product in america, excess. we have three times a week somebody i respect is saying to
1:38 pm
me you mean you're not watching and i mention a show that i should be watching but who has the time to watch it all. >> they can be tough to keep track of. when people look at the presidential race this year and donald trump, when people try to figure out who are the donald trump voters, i can't tell you how many times i've had somebody say it's archie bunker. >> ask me who i think donald trump is. >> who is donald trump. >> he is the middle finger of the american right hand. they are saying this is the kind of leadership you give us, take this. >> he's tapping into though when you look at archie bunker as a character archie bunker today would he be a trump guy. >> he was afraid of progress. he was in the past. >> make america great again. >> he wasn't a hater. when he was asked to be part of a group putting a cross on a lawn or something, he wouldn't do that. >> we are going to put the fear
1:39 pm
of god into your commy son-in-law. >> i have a grandson and i want him to grow up normal. if he sees a cross burning there, he might get the wrong idea of what the cross really means. >> i'm not saying that trump would do that, but he isn't a -- he's a hater, i believe. >> you put trump in a different -- >> in an entirely different character. >> when you look at pop culture today do you see people out there who are mixing politics and entertainment the same way you did? >> i think carmichael is doing it brilliantly. seth mcfarland is out there mixing the politics and religion. this is the golden age.
1:40 pm
it's also the golden age because it happens to be the moment we have and we're living it. >> do you feel that a network for instance when you think back to the troubles you might have had and some of the plots you wanted to do, do you think networks in general are more open to sort of politically charged entertainment these days. >> i'm told some people have been doing more of it and a lot of things we did they can't do today so i don't know but i'm going to find out because we're doing a new show for netflix, a latino version of one day at a time and there will be three generations of latin women. >> if you had to bring back all in the family today, could you think of an actor out there. >> i wouldn't do archie and anet tau because i think they --
1:41 pm
>> could never top that. >> but to do what we did in all in the family and take on those issues and this moment instead of that moment, i think yes. >> all right. and when you look -- >> don't be surprised if it happens. >> is there something in the works? >> yeah. >> can you tell us a little bit more about it? no. okay. let me ask you when you look ahead to the fall election with trump versus hillary clinton, a lot of people are saying this will be the ultimate reality show. >> well, i haven't heard that but of course it is the ultimate reality show because it is america's reality and it couldn't be more important. >> all right. norman lear, new documentary, maybe a new all in the family, thanks for stopping by. i appreciate it. >> my very dear pleasure. >> i had a lot of fun doing that
1:42 pm
interview. norman lear is about to turn 94 years old. that's amazing. we should all be that lucky in life. that was a fun interview. still to come on this show, so much talk about the race for the white house, how about the almost as important battle for the u.s. senate, which party is going to control it, this guy we're showing you pictures of right now, who is he and why is he suddenly so important to that question. we're going to address it in our most important number of the day, that is straight ahead.
1:43 pm
proud of you, son. ge! a m. well that's why i dug this out for you. it's your grandpappy's hammer and he would have wanted you to have it. it meant a lot to him... yes, ge makes powerful machines. but i'll be writing the code that will allow those machines to share information with each other. i'll be changing the way the worlworks. (interrupting) you can't pick it up, can you? go ahead. he can't lift the hammer. it's okay though! you're going to change the world. this dog treat called max and dentalife.covered it's really different. see? it's flexible... ...and it has a chewy, pous texture, full of little tiny air pockets that gives dogs' teeth a clean scrub all the way down to the gum line. (vo) purina dentalife. for life. i drive to the hoop. i drive a racecar. i have a driver. his name is carl. but that's not what we all have in common. we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots.
1:44 pm
relto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testg routine. i couldn't have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. i found another way. yeah, treatment with xarelto®. hey, safety first. like all bloodhinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpeed bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner

in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same her with xarelto® there is regular blood moniring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. some big news in the world of politics, specifically the question of which party is going to win control of the u.s. senate this year. so the news right here it looks like evan bayh is going to run for the senate.

now he wants to come back. he was pretty popular in indiana when he was in office before so this is a big win for democrats the fact that they have a competitive candidate in indiana and it takes us to our most important number of the day and that number is four. why four? here is why. this is the current balance of power in the u.s. senate. republicans have 54 and democrats have 66. if you're a democrat and you want control of the senate this year, you need to get four seats. that assumes that hillary clinton wins the presidential race, it's going to be tough to see democrats winning the senate without hillary clinton and winning the presidential race. if she does that and you're a democrat you need to get four. this is why this is so important. this is the battle ground right now. these are the states that look comp competitive. the red ones are held by republican senators and blue is held by democratic senators. if you add in indiana that's 11
1:47 pm
states. there are 11 states on this map that are held by republicans where democrats have at least a decent chance or at least perspectively have a chance of making these races competitive and picking them off. there are only two democrat held seats where republicans right now have a realistic chance of picking off the democrat and picking up the seat. if you're a democrat you got to turn and hold these two blue ones, nevada and colorado, then look at these red states. you go the to pick off four of them. that could get you control of the u.s. senate. so evan bayh has been living in washington with, but there's a chance with him in the race the democrats could get this seat. there are a number of others up here whether it's new hampshire, pennsylvania, ohio, illinois where democrats seem to have good chances. there are stretches on the board. north carolina might be tough to
1:48 pm
put in play but there are more opportunities for democrat and with evan getting in the race in indiana that's another one. it's democrats on offense and republicans on defense with the da democrats needing four to get the senate. that's our most important number of the day. coming up, hillary clinton picking up that long awaited endorsement from her primary arrival but did bernie sanders get what he was looking for? we are going to ask his campaign manager jeff weaver next. i intend to do everything i can to make certain she will be the next president of the united states.

democratic nominee. jeff weaver, the campaign manager for bernie sanders joins me now. jeff, a lot was made about the delay here, 36 days since she became the presumptive nominee, 28 since the final primary in d.c. for that delay for holding out for that time until today what did your campaign get for this? >> let me first of all say this delay, you heard a lot of carpaling from some talking heads and people who were not involved in the internal discussions going on in the campaign but you never heard from the clinton campaign because they knew we were in important discussions about policy issues and platform issues on which the campaigns were trying to come together and they did come together. secretary clinton came out with a bold and senator sanders said a revolution area higher

education plan for families under $125,000 a year and a health care proposal that would put in place the public option so people could buy through the exchanges health care from a government run insurance company if they wanted to which would demonstrate that private insurance is more expensive than it has to be. the secretary has pledged billions for community health centers across this country which will provide primary care, mental health care and low cost prescription drugs in communities from coast to coast. these discussions were going on -- >> so you've got some wins here in the platform, no question. this platform you played a significant role in shaping. it bigger picture though, i think one of the questions it's raised is the theme that sanders pressed that your candidate pressed in this primary against hillary clinton was the role of wall street and the role of wealth and power. at one point sanders said this

is the issue in american politics today, do we have a government that represents all of us or just the 1%. you're not going to have a government that represents all of us so long as you have candidates like secretary clinton being dependent on big money. does that stand. >> we have to get big money out of politics but if you look at the platform and it calls for a return to break up banking services from other financial services and breaking up the big banks, so i think if you look at the democratic platform which is clearly -- >> do you think she will stick to that as president. do you think hillary clinton who did not seem enthusiastic about it in the primary will stick with it. >> we went into this platform dmeet and the secretary had 45 more votes than we did. we 70 members and she had 115 members. none of this would have passed without support from the clinton campaign. the secretary has committed herself to this platform which is by far the most progressive
